We may not be aware of the plethora of the toxic diet talk and implicit negative body and food messaging that comes at us from so many directions – TV, social media, movies, magazines, news outlets, parents, teachers, family, and friends. The pressures to be transform our bodies into something they are not, is incredibly prolific. Today, I am going to discuss the one single most important method to confront the toxic diet culture in our society…self-compassion. It may not sound like much, but self-compassion is critical to dismantling diet culture because it requires that we start with ourselves. Instead of trying to fix others, change their bodies, or force them to be healthy, self-compassion starts by looking internally within ourselves first. To be self-compassionate is to build courage, and it is courage that will stand up to the toxic diet mentality and end it.
